Introduction

antx provides a set of antd mixed field components:

1. Say goodbye to cumbersome <Form.Item> and rules
Directly write on field components (e.g. Input) with Form.Item props and field props (fully TypeScript support), which greatly simplifies the code.

2. String rules (only enhanced, original rules are also supported)
rules in string, for example rules={['required', 'max=10']} represents for rules={[{ required: true }, { max: 10 }]}.

3. Not adding any new props
All props are antd original props, without add any other new props, reducing mental burden.

In the same time, antx provides 2 helper components (WrapperCol, Watch), and a tool function create() for easily enhancing existing field components.

Installation

pnpm add antx
# or
yarn add antx
# or
npm i antx

Usage

import { Button, Form } from 'antd';
import { Input, Select, WrapperCol } from 'antx';

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Form labelCol={{ span: 8 }} wrapperCol={{ span: 16 }}>
      <Input label="Name" name="name" rules={['required', 'string']} />
      <Select
        label="Gender"
        name="gender"
        rules={['required', 'number']}
        options={[
          { value: 1, label: 'Male' },
          { value: 2, label: 'Female' },
        ]}
      />
      <InputNumber
        label="Age"
        name="age"
        rules={['required', 'number', 'min=0']}
      />
      <WrapperCol>
        <Button type="primary" htmlType="submit">
          Submit
        </Button>
      </WrapperCol>
    </Form>
  );
};

2. Helper components

1. Watch: used to monitor the changes of form values, which can be only partial re-render, more refined and better performance

// Watch example
import { Watch } from 'antx';

<Form>
  <Input label="Song" name="song" />
  <Input label="Artist" name="artist" />

  <Watch name="song">
    {(song) => {
      return <div>Song: {song}</div>;
    }}
  </Watch>

  <Watch list={['song', 'artist']}>
    {([song, artist]) => {
      return (
        <div>
          Song: {song}, Artist: {artist}
        </div>
      );
    }}
  </Watch>
</Form>;

2. WrapperCol: simplify the layout code, the same props as Form.Item, used when the UI needs to be aligned with the input box.

// WrapperCol example
import { WrapperCol } from 'antx';

<Form>
  <Input label="Song" name="song" />
  <WrapperCol>This is a hint that aligns with the input box</WrapperCol>
</Form>;

3. create() function

• create(): convert existing custom field components into components that support Form.Item props mix-in.

import { create } from 'antx';

// Before
<Form>
  <Form.Item label="Song" name="song" rules={{ required: true }}>
    <MyCustomInput />
  </Form.Item>
</Form>;

// enhancing with create()
const MyCustomInputPlus = create(MyCustomInput);

// After
<Form>
  <MyCustomInputPlus label="Song" name="song" rules={['required']} />
</Form>;

4. String rules

// String rules example
<Input label="Song" name="song" rules={['required', 'min=0', 'max=50']} />
